Not a fascist. Choral music, animal rights, social mobility, environment etc
Last week a judge referred Nigel Farage to the attorney general for possible contempt of court.
Yesterday Farage incited violence today he is justifying that violence.
This is Trump style right wing populism & straight out of the Steve Bannon playbook.

Today, I’m launching a High Court claim against xAI, the company behind Grok.
I am just one of thousands of women and even children who have been the victim of abusive and sexualised AI deepfakes.
This should never have happened – and xAI must be held accountable.

Rob, earlier you put out a video claiming you would save the Ashton library. Why as a councillor did you fail to attend every single meeting held in relation to saving that library? Are you even aware that due to many hours of work from your fellow councillors who did actually attend, the library is already being repaired and kept open? You truly are a chip off the Nigel block in terms of being great at PR but utterly dishonest and useless when it comes to public service.
More of CNN's false equivalence language. Ukraine is not targeting St. Petersburg, but striking military installations, Russian warships, and oil refineries. It's the Russian terror state that strikes cities and targets civilians. https://t.co/Cy7DgqtkuT
Almost half of 2024 rioters had already been reported to the police for domestic abuse. Tommy Robinson's supporters are violent misogynists.

Churchill would be turning in his grave at the state of these "patriots". Thugs with zero comprehension of history and culture.
@carlyjohnson123@Patrici89225734 Almost half of convicted 2024 rioters previously reported for domestic abuse.
Tommy Robinson's supporters are misogynists and thick as sh*t.

One thing worth bearing in mind amid the Henry Nowak tragedy: Russia actively exploits these moments.
Before the facts are established and before investigations conclude, an online swarm appears. Some are genuine people, of course. People are right to be upset. However, some are activists, some are opportunists chasing clicks, many will be automated or coordinated influence accounts trying to exploit that natural emotion of outrage. The objective is to deepen division and destroy trust.
I’ve noticed my own replies flooded with anonymous accounts pushing highly emotive claims, demanding instant conclusions and attempting to drive outrage. Some will be real people. Many almost certainly are not.
What strikes me as particularly curious is how many of these accounts appear aligned with Reform. That does not mean Reform is involved, nor that Reform supporters are bots. It is deeply strange that they follow the same playbook, however. Hostile states amplify whatever is most likely to increase polarisation, weaken confidence in institutions and pit citizens against one another.
Russian information operations have spent years exploiting contentious issues across Western democracies. Immigration, policing, identity, social cohesion and political distrust are ideal targets because they already generate strong emotions. Funnily enough, it’s also the same playbook Hamas and their allies use.
The family asked for Henry Nowak’s death not to be politicised. Instead, it has become a canvas onto which everyone is projecting their pre-existing beliefs.
The best defence is to stop and pause. Ask why people want you to see the narrative you’re seeing to try and get you riled up and jump to conclusions. Wait for the evidence, let the investigation run its course, and be wary of anyone demanding certainty before the facts are known.
Don’t let yourself be manipulated. When you’re upset is the worst time to draw conclusions.
My recent peer-reviewed paper explains how the psychology of this all works. https://t.co/0dIIF7oPp3

Like a group of gossipy old battleaxes. They spare no bile for Keir Starmer. Yet their hysterical dribblings miraculously disappear re Nigel Farage who is up to his neck in financial scandals. Disgraceful bias.
